Wont rock the stadium, but sounds pretty damn good. Amazing what 6 watts will do, I currently running some little Tannoy c-10 speakers 94db/1watt. 6n1p input and EL84 output

    Looks like a David Yee amp that sells on Ebay once on awhile.

    Very sweet.

    How long have you had it and how's it sound?

    I ask because I tried getting ahold of the guy that makes them. He first started posting his amps on Craigslist more than 2-3 years ago. I got a rather rude response from him and just quit talking to him altogether. His amps do look like good stuff, especially for being so budget-friendly.

    Yupp, $235 delivered, they retail for $1099.. It sounds awesome, I went through a bunch of speakers to find something efficient enough and I am currently using the tannoy's.. I have some CV D9's i need to replace the surround foam on they are 101db/1watt, anxious to see how the sound.. But the amp itself is amazing and fills the living room with plenty of beautiful warm tube sound. Also anxiousto try some different tube combinations and see how it changes the sound.

    Congrats on your new amp!!

    I really like the EL84 power tube amps! The sound can be very nice and tube rolling is a blast. You need some efficient speakers and you will not be overpowered by them. For me these amps do great for near field listening.
